The Kodiak
Island Borough municipal election results are final. The canvass board count
was released Wednesday afternoon, and is due to be certified by the borough
assembly at Thursday night's regular meeting.

Voter turn
out was 26 percent borough-wide, with 2,477 people casting ballots. That's just
a little bit higher than last year's municipal election where 22 percent turned
out.

There were
no surprises from the results reported the Friday after the election, though
the margins have changed.

Elected to
three, three-year terms on the borough assembly are incumbent Sue Jeffrey with
1,558 votes, new-comer Judy Fulp with 1,623 votes, and Dave Kaplan with 349
votes. Kaplan waged a write-in campaign after nobody filed to run for that
seat. Thursday night will be the last meeting on the assembly for Tom Abell and Reed
Oswalt, as the new assembly will be sworn in tonight and officially take office
Monday morning.

School
Board incumbent Peggy Rauwolf received 1,676 votes, while incumbent Jeff
Stephan (steven) got 1,485. Write-in candidate Petal Ruch had 242 votes for the
single one-year seat on the board. Monday will be the last meeting for school
board president Betty Odell.

Mike Dolph
had 830 votes in re-election for a three-year term on Fire Protection Area 1,
while write-in candidate Dan Canavan had 14.

In Service
Area 1, Scott Arndt had 15 votes, Kevin Arndt had 14, and Sharon Lea Adinolfi
(add-in-all-fee) had 11.

In the
Women's Bay Service Area, which was the one election in the borough with a full
slate of candidates, David Heuman had 162 votes, John Isadore 150, and Scott
Griffin had 149.

There was a
tie among write-in candidates for the one, three-year seat on the Monashka Bay
Road Service Area, with Mark Withrow and Chaz Glagolich each receiving four
votes. Withrow's name was drawn from a hat and has won the seat.

The final
numbers for the two proposition had the financial disclosure changes for
borough officials go down 1,212 votes to 1,160. The vote on Prop 2, which would
have authorized the sale of 115-million dollars of bonds for a new high school,
